Nuts & Bolts

  • New Michelin Tyre

    New Michelin Tyre

    Michelin’s new 14in TB5 range of rubber is now on sale at Longstone Classic Tyres. The equivalent to 185/60R14 or 175/65R14 (5in – 6.5in rims), TB5s are ‘uncompromising’ yet road legal. Priced at £219, they can be purchased from Longstone’s website.

  • Boxster exhaust

    Boxster exhaust

    Akrapovič’s Slip-On Line exhaust system for Porsche’s 981 Boxster fits all models and is constructed from titanium alloys that are stronger, lighter and more durable than the standard-fit part. The exhaust also frees up extra power and torque. At £4250, however, it is not cheap.

     

  • Leather care

    Leather care

    Using a two-stage process, Meguiar’s Gold Class Leather Sealer Treatment prevents drying and cracking, while also guarding against spills and stains. The product first preps the leather, before the sealer conditions and protects. The kit is priced at under £15.

  • Poseidon Car Wash

    Poseidon Car Wash

    Valet PRO’s new car-wash formula costs £9.99 and offers vigorous cleaning power, reducing the physical effort required to agitate dirt, while apparently leaving your classic smelling of lime. Meanwhile, the solution’s synthetic polymers leave paintwork beading, gleaming and protected.
